Very enjoyable urban fantasy for a casual read! I appreciated the way that characters played with gender, it added a fun dimension. I never got a full idea of the rules of the universe, but that’s probably on me for getting distracted from the audiobook. The voices were quite well done, too, come to think of it! The narrator did a great job on accents.

It's written like a middle grade book but then has swearing, sexual references, and violence which should be more for ya books. Almost dnf ed it at the start but did get more into it.

j'ai ADORÉ
ça faisait longtemps qu'un roman fantastique ne m'avait pas autant transporté, si j'en avais eu l'occasion je l'aurais lu d'une traite !

l'histoire est vraiment originale, + qu'un premier tome qui pose le décor, on part directement dans des péripéties pour percer des mystères et en découvrir d'autres.
les personnages sont réalistes, je les ai trouvé vraiment attachants (Merlin purée MERLIN).
la fin est peut-être un peu trop rapide, mais en même temps elle se clôt très bien, et j'ai hâte de pouvoir lire la suite !

le seul point négatif que je peux trouver à cette histoire c'est la place beaucoup trop importante/essentielle accordée à la police, franchement on aurait pu s'en passer et faire même mieux sans...
